Ananya Panday is gearing up to step into the web series space with Karan Johar-backed show Call Me Bae. The series revolves around the riches-to-rags concept, where a girl from an affluent family has to lead a middle-class life. While Ananya plays a high society girl on the show, Karan feels her character Bae has a strong resembleance to Kareena Kapoor’s character Pooh from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
At the trailer launch of Call Me Bae, Karan Johar said, “It’s been 23 years to K3G, but if Pooja (Pooh) and Rohan Raichand had a daughter, she would be like Bae. Ananya’s character in this show is a 2.0 derivative of Pooh.”
